TCP/IP

August 26, 2019 by Jennifer Spencer

Abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a commonly used phrase to refer to the entire Internet protocol suite. It is by far the most widely used suite of networking protocols, providing the technical foundation for the public Internet as well as for large numbers of private networks (called internets with a small “i” to distinguish them from the public Internet) that are not linked to the public Internet.

The most important achievement of TCP/IP is its flexibility for lower-level protocols, which—in contrast to the design philosophy expressed in the OSI Reference Model—are not defined. As a result, can work with a wide variety of physical media, including local area networks (LANs) such as Ethernets, frame relay, digital T1 and T3 backbones, fiber optic, packet radio, and many more. See connectionless protocol, connection-oriented protocol, Ethernet, internet, Internet, Internet Protocol (IP), OSI Reference Model, TCP.

Technipages Explains TCP/IP

TCP is a connection-oriented Protocol in which before any information or data is exchanged; a connection must be established. TCP ensures an input data is received in the same other as it was sent. The information is firstly broken down and rerouted and received at the destination.

Internet protocol suites are the most widely used of networking protocols, and it is the model for which the public internet and private networks (called internets with a smaller “i’’) which are not linked to the internet, operate.

TCP/IP  is an abbreviated form for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, and it is a collective term for the Internet protocol suite. It is used to interconnect network devices on the internet.

TCP/IP protocols were intended as part of the research networks developed by the United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). It was designed by 2 DARPA scientists namely Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, in 1974 after researches which started in 1969.

Common Uses of TCP/IP

  • TCP/IP is the Internet suite developed for the United  States Department of  Defense Advanced Research projects agency in the year 1969
  • TCP/IP is an open protocol suite which can be used by any individual or organization, and it is not owned by any particular institute.
  • TCP/IP is an industry-standard model which can be effectively deployed  in practical networking solutions

Common Misuses of TCP/IP

  • The development of the TCP/IP suite started in the late 90s with no backing or initial research, and there was no prior work before this.
  • TCP/IP does not use the address of a machine connected to it to identify the machine as well, and the identity works simultaneously as its address.
